Pumpkin Patch 2009

Boy, did we have a big day!!! On Tuesday, Oct 27th we hit two pumkin patches and we had TONS of fun!
In this pic, I think she is probably saying, "PUMPKINS!!!!" In this one, she rally did say, "TA-DA!"

We had to have $5 ready at this patch and once she got it, she wouldn't let go!

This is Sara Crawfod and her friend Maggie Miller, from school!

She also hit two pumkin patches with us that day!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Happy Halloween to you with love, from our very own little LOVE BUG!!!

Wedding

Let me introduce you to... the best flower girl ever! Sara Crawford was asked to be a flower girl in Tiffani Floyd's wedding. Sara Crawford's 2nd birthday was July 23rd and the wedding date was September 26th. JUST BARELY 2!!!!! I just knew that such a thing would never happen. Since I was the matron of honor, I was willing to give it a try. Not only did it happen, she was PERFECT!!!

All the way down the aisle, dropping flowers the whole way, weaving in between two wheelchairs with a church full of people, right to her mommy who was waiting with tears in her eyes!(and on her cheeks!)

I am not quite sure if I was so emotional because I was SO tired or if I had a quick flash-forward to (hopefully) 30 years from now! It was a proud moment for me and her daddy!

Congrats Tiff and Frank! I love you both and wish you all the best!

Trip to USM!! GO EAGLES!!!

We recently went down to Hattiesburg to watch Southern Miss and see some of our friends from Christopher's college days! We had the ABSOLUTE best time!
This is a pic of all the husbands...Brian, Matt, and Christopher.

This is all the wives...Krystle, me, and Stacie, sitting on the leather couch in the AMAZING "Eagle's Nest". Thank you VERY much Brian and Harrell Construction!

It had been SO long since we had been to a Southern game and our seats were above the student section and right next to the band. It really took us back a few years and we VOWED to not wait so long before our next game.

Southern Miss to the TOP!!

FRECKLES

We found freckles yesterday while we were at the pool! There are just a few of them across her nose, but they are absolutely adorable...just like her daddy! We got a closer pic so you could see them a little bit better. I wasn't sure if she would have any freckles at all. She will hate them I am sure, but I love them, just like the rest of her!

Some picture editing

I was just playing around tonight and I wanted to share my editing! Enjoy!

more vacation pics

Here are a few more vacation pictures.
This Sara Crawford swimming in the pool at the condo in "her mimi's" bathing suit. She told everybody about this being the suit she keeps at her Mimi's house. I absolutely love her cutting those big blue eyes! That is how she works her Daddy! This is her taking a break from swimming at the pool.

This is her just having tons of fun in the pool, like she always does!

This is the 3 of us on go-karts. We still aren't sure if she liked it or not?!?

And we know she didn't like the bumper boats! This trip was cut short for us.

We have taken about 650 pictures since we got here, so I am finding VERY hard to pick which ones to share. I will hopefully be updating more regularly for a while.

Our first and second day at the beach

These are a few of our cheesy beach pictures! I really love some of them.
This first one is Sara Crawford running away from the water! I think that she thought it was going to get her! She would just scream as she ran all the way back. She eventually warmed up to the idea of the big "pool" and wound up with wet everything. We had to change her clothes before supper!

These next ones are so funny to me. Christopher wears his sunglasses all the time. So, when he had to take them off for the pics, his eyes were watering and he was squinting like crazy. I on the other hand NEVER have on sunglasses because of my regular glasses. My eyes are squinted because of my GIANT CHEEKS!!!

I promise to keep updating while we are on vacation! I love having all the extra time.

Sara Crawford is 2!!!

Yep, she's two, already! I can't believe it! Her are a few pics of her parties! I would love it if you would also look back at last year's parties! You may see quite a difference!

This first pic is at our house on her actual birthday. She wore this crown on her first birthday, too! This is a pic from her party at our church building on Saturday. That pink icing wound up looking like lipstick from her nose to her chin and from ear to ear.

This is also at the church later in the party. We had a luau theme with slip n slide and a small pool set up in the back. Sara Crawford needed a little help getting started.

She quickly got the hang of things!

We had a very exciting guest at the party. Riley Peyton Wood showed up. Since she is only 4 weeks old, this was her birthday party debut! She is the daughter of Monica Loden Wood, a very proud mama of a very sweet girl! Sara Crawford thought that she was another gift!!!

This is a picture of our new addition, Claire Puddles Logan. This was a gift from Grami and Pawpaw. We think that she is an exact replica of Sara Crawford...she even teetees in her diaper, too! Thanks, Grami!:)

She was absolutely the most excited two year old that I have ever seen! We got to hear a squeal after every gift and she pleaded, "Open it!", but we moved on to the next and the next!

Enjoying every last drop of the cupcakes! I think her grand total was 3 cupcakes!!! No, there was no nap that day!

A big, excited smile while we were waiting for all the family to arrive on Thursday!

I wanted to be sure and include a pic of the three of us. We had so much fun that day, but it was a lot of work and a little stress! My husband was perfection at rolling with it and he handled the set-up of everything outside, which took tons of time and patience!!! Thank you, baby!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl! I Love You! XOXO!

Just an update!

We have been VERY busy! Not a lot of time for blogging!
Field & Stream picked our daughter up for a cover...

Just kidding! We went to Bass Pro Shop on Father's Day and they had this little booth set up. Cute, huh?

We have been playing with Dad...

Swinging in the yard...

Swimming, swimming, and more swimming....

visiting cousins....

and driving mom CRAZY!!!! Sara Crawford will be 2 next month, we have some out of town family in for the weekend, and the 4th is coming up. There will soon be tons more to update on soon!

What we've been up to...

Sara Crawford is out of school for the summer. I have gotten SO spoiled to only having her up here for 1 or 2 days a week. Thursday was her first day here this week and so this is what we wound up doing......

Playing with hats!!! I have told you guys before how much she loves them.
This first shot is a game of peek-a-boo! Then, a little modeling....

A BIG LAUGH......

And finally a shot with mom.....(because I know these days will be gone TOO soon!)

Enjoy your summer with your kids!

MAKE-UP?!?

So, what was I thinking?!? When I am putting on my make-up (yes, sometimes I wear make-up) Sara Crawford loves to get my sponge, or my blush brush or my chapstick and put on a little herself. She really likes to be a big girl! I was in Big Lots and saw what I thought was some play make-up. I know that you guys remember the kind that looked like lipstick, but was solid plastic. Well, what a mistake I made. With-in the first 5 minutes, my child looked like this...

Now, isn't that the prettiest thing you have ever seen?
